Tales from a Thousand and One Nights comes to Sale in April

Tales from a Thousand and One Nights is taking place on Friday 28 April from 7.30pm.

Director Eliot Giaralarocca said: "We love stories, and no collection of stories are more beloved than these wonderful Middle-Eastern folk tales.

"They are hymns and fables to the inventiveness of the human spirit, by turns hilarious, poignant, odd and memorable.

"With four actor-musicians, live music, mask and song we hope to create a feast of physical storytelling in an evening that simply cannot be missed."

The promotion for the show says "Scheherazade tells stories - exhilarating stories full of fun, danger, wonder and passion.

"But will it be enough? Can her stories save her life?

"With their stylish brand of ensemble storytelling, mask and live music, Dragonboy Productions breathes new life into some of the funniest and most entertaining folk tales found in The Arabian Nights, including The Seven Voyages of Sindbad, The Little Hunchback, Faisal and the Barber, Behind the Door, Sultan Haroun Laughs and The Tale of Sage Duban.

"Newly adapted and directed by Eliot Giuralarocca, this is a feast of storytelling, suitable for the whole family and woven into a production that simply cannot be missed."

Tickets cost £15 for adults or £13 for concussions. The age rating is 10+. It will run for 105 minutes, plus interval time.
